badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

yes, your phone can negotiate the correct voltage (otherwise will default to 5V) and will only draw as much current as it needs
With Power Delivery I believe it to be possible. Check on the back of the charger what it can output, and if can go low enough it shouldn't be a problem, as segfault says they can negotiate. You can also check how many watts your phone charges with normally on gsmarena.com.

Did your phone make it, or do I need to make arrangements at the funeral home?
It only exploded a little. Iβd say it was a success
Without knowing the specs on either; probably. I'dgo easy and just give it less than 20%
I did this in the past but I have more normal chargers now so I donβt do it as often. Itβs not going to instakill your phone though
I once developed a habit of doing that and it eventually made my battery swell up. So only use the laptop charger for emergencies. It charged my phone really fast though.
That's your phone's bad tbh USB only gives as much power as its asked for.
